''If the dogs in our neighorhood hold out I guess I can do. .something that all the temperancet societies 'in this town have failed to do," says the 2 - '- . " - . . . . bad boy to the .grocery man, . as he cut off a piece of Cheese -and took a handful of crackers out of a box. p 4 '"Well for Heaven's sake, what you been doing now, you little rerro- bate," asked the grocery man, asVhe went to the desk and charged the boy's father with a pound and four ounces of cheese and two pounds of crackers. "If you was my boy and played any of your tricks on mec I would maul the everlasting life ent of you. Your father is a cussed fool that he dont send you to the reform school. The hired girl was over this morning and said your father was sick and I should think he would be. What you done? Poisoned liim J suppose." "No, I didn't poison him: I just scared the liver out of him, that's all." "How was it," asked the grecery man, as he charged up a pound of prunes to the boy's father. "Well, I'll tell you, but if you ever tell pa I wont trade here any, more. You see, pa belongs to all the secret societies, and when there is agrand lodge or anythinghere, he drinks awfully. There was some thing last week, some sort of a leath er apron affair, or a sash over his shoulder, and every night he was 'out till the next day, and his breath smel led all the time like in front of a vinegar store, where they keep yeast. Ever since Ma took her hay fever with her up to Lake Superior, pa has been a terror, and I thought some thins onsjht to be done. Since that variegated dog trick was played on him ho has been pretty sober till Ma went away, and I happened to think of a dog a boy in the Third Ward has got, will do tricks. He will jump up and take a man's hat off, and bring a hankerchief, and all that. So I got the boy to come up on our street, and j Monday night, about d.irk, I got in the house and told the boy when pa came along to make the dog take his hat, and to pin a hankerchief to his coat tail, and make the dog take that, and then for him and the dog to lite for home. Well, you'd a dide. Pa came up the street as dignified and important as though he had gone through bankruptcy, and tried to walk straight, and just as he got near the door the boy pointed to pa's hat and said, ' Fetch it." The dog is a big Newfoundland, but he is a jum per, and don't you forget it. "P.i is short and thick, and when the dog struck him on the shoulder and took his hat pa almost fell over, and then he said get out, and he kick ed and backed up toward the steps, and then turned around and the boy pointed to the hankerchief and said, "fetch it," and the dog gave one baik and went for it, and got hold of it and a part of pa's duster, pa tried to climb up the steps on his hands and feet, and the dog pulled the other way, and it is an old last years duster anyway, and the whole back breadth come out, and when I opened the door there pa stood with the front of his coat and the sleeves on, but the back was gone, and I took hold of his arm, and be said "Gel out," and was going to kick me, thinking I was a dog and I told him I was his own little boy, and asked him if anything was the matter, and he said, M (hie) atter enough. New F Chic) lamp dog chawing me last hour'n a half. Why didn't you come and k (hie) ill' cm?' I told pa there was no dog at all, and he must be careful of his health or I wouldn't have no pa at all. lie looked at me and asked me, as he felt for the place where the back ot the linen duster was, what had be come of his coat tail and hat if there was do dog and I told him he had probably caught his coat on that bar- bed wire fence down street, and he eaid he sar.the dog and a boy just as plain as1 could be, and for me to help him upstairs and go for the doc tor. PasaTd he wanted to be cau terised, so hewouldnt go raad. I told i the doctor (the joke, and said he ; would keep it up, and he gave pa some powders, and told him if he drank any more before Christmas he ' ' , -- . was a dead man. Pa savs it has learned him a lesson and they can Lnever get any more pizen down him, but don ' you give me away, will you, I cise heSvould go and complain to the police about the dog, and they would shoot it. Ma will be back just as soon as'she gets through sneezing, and I will. tell her, and'she will give me a chorrao, cause she don't like to have pa drink only between meals. Well good day. There's a Italian got ft bear that performs and!I am go ing to find where he is showing, and feed the bear a cayennepepper lozen ger, and see him clean . out the Pol lack settlement. Good bye." And the boy went to look for the bear. How tJie People Can et;Eveuu Courier Jout nal. "Not guilty," say the jury. Not guilty of what? Of conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment. Bah !

JNow comes the news that husband and wife have The Governor's mansion. Raleigh 2xew and Observer The work of excavating for th foundations, &c, of the Governor's mansion began yesterday. The build ing stands on Blount street, near ' the spot where stands the old "Love joy" academy which has been for half a century or more a landmark in the city. . Around the old school old asso ciations cluster thick, for people of all ages have studied lessons and been well "birched" there in days past or present. But the old and inconve nient building, by no means suitable for a school house, givea way to the march of improvement, and the new mansion will adorn the grove of oaks, which, too, are passing away, and must soon be replaced by other trees. It may not be amiss to give a sort of a description of the mansion. It will be of brick, faced with brown sandstone of fine color and texture, from Anson county. It will havo a basement, two full stories and an at tic story. The roof is of slate. The building is in modern style and is spacious and comfortable as to inte rior arrangement, both of rooms and hallways. It is not, we are informed, expected or desired to be completed in time for occupancy by the present Governor, but every effort will be made to have it ready to turn over to the next incumbent of the executive .- chair. The building will be hand some, one of the handsomest, in fact, in the city or State. Newton Normal School. .

Journal-Observer We have recently had another practical illustration of the necessity for a dog law in the experience of a farmer living near Charlotte. Desir ing to go inte the business of sheep raising he bought eighty-five sheep and put them in one place, and inoae night last week the dogs of the neigh borhood killed more than half of them. He then housed his sheep and thought he saved the remainder of them, but the dogs got into the fold and killed several more Abeut the same tine they destroyed twelve sheep for an other gentleman in an adjoining farm. Naturally these farmers are beth mad and discouraged, but they have not entirely abandoned the hope of rais ing some sheep. They will reduce the number of dogs around there without doubt, f er they have armed every employe on their pemises with a gun and given instructions to kill every dog that crosses their lines at any time and under any circumstances VHOAJ VIIOAi VIIOAH!
